VB.NET Tutorial 39 - Web Page Source Code (Visual Basic 2008/2010)

In this tutorial, we cover using the HttpWebRequest and HttpWebResponse. We use it to obtain the source code of a web page that I have created. We also use the Stream Reader to handle the text and then write it into a textbox.

@swehunter2000 You can't run a web browser in a different thread so it is going to put a lot of strain on your application and take up a lot of space. Say you want to parse 5 web pages at the same time, that's 5 web browsers.

oooor.. "richtexbox1.text = webbrowser1.documenttext"

Using a webbrowser when you are parsing information is a bad idea. It's very unprofessional and will add a lot of strain to your application.

How to handle errors? Catch ex wont work.

Variable 'response' is used before it has been assigned a value. A null reference exception could result at runtime.
